We followed the stars In trains and old cars We journeyed by night Me and my old guitar Like they say in the songs He's tough and he's strong But we didn't get far Me and my old guitar We slept all day Down by the side of the road Anywhere, anytime, anyplace Was a place we'd call home Rivers of claret and burgundy Flowed in the bars Nothing was going to stop Me and my old guitar We made straight for the top Consumed all that we got No bridge was too far For me and my old guitar When we made number one The world sang along At the feet in the arms Of me and my old guitar Oh they say that they build you up Just to kick you back down And the dogs were waiting for us As we hit the ground They paraded our bodies through town like 2 trophies of war That was the end of Me and my old guitar ♪ Oh they say that they build you up Just to kick you back down And the dogs were waiting for us As we hit the ground They paraded our bodies through town like 2 trophies of war And that was the end of Me and my old guitar They paraded our bodies through town like 2 trophies of war And that was the end of me And my old guitar
